-- The NPCs will be able to perform five fundamental actions that will allow
-- for them to perform any other kind of interaction in the world. These
-- fundamental actions are: place a node, dig a node, put items on an inventory,
-- take items from an inventory, find a node closeby (radius 3) and
-- walk a step on specific direction. These actions will be set on an action queue.
-- The queue will have the specific steps, in order, for the NPC to be able to do
-- something (example, go to a specific place and put a chest there). The
-- fundamental actions are added to the action queue to make a complete task for the NPC.
